[Harp-L] learning to appreciate HOWARD LEVY was video--"amazing grace"

[Buddha <groovygypsy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I understand what many of you think and feel when you listen to
Howard. Sometime it takes the right tune for you to "get it".  I went
through a period where I couldn't stand John Coltrane. I lamented to
Howard that I didn't see what was so great about 'trane and he asked
if I had listened to a Love Supreme.  The answer was no, so Howard
promptly sent me his copy. That was the recording that did it for me.
I became a John Coltrane fan. To this day, I often listen to
Coltrane's middle period on a very regular basis. I still don't like
his later "monkey screaming" stuff but I enjoy all of his other stuff.

I have a very large collection of Howard's music. Much of it is
unreleased or can only be found on very obscure recordings. I'm
willing to send snippets of what I think will help you understand what
Howard is all about.  His original material is so beautiful and
lyrical and obviously has become the foundation of my style.
